Help, Brake lightd not working on 02 Excursion

Hi, we have a rather baffleing problem tonight. The brakelights on the rear side of the X do not work. But the third brakelight up above does, and the blinkers work. I looked at the fuses, no problem there.
What do I check next?

Thanks, Joel

The brake sensor might be a defect,

He said the "third" bake light up above works - wouldn't that mean the brake sensor is working? Aren't the lowers and the upper driven by the same sensor?

I think you need to replace the stoplight switch. It's relatively easy with a needle nose pliers and a flat screwdriver.

I replaced the turn signal switch. That was it! The brake lights all work fine now. Thanks!

Did you replace the multifunction switch in the steering column?
If so I'll have to remember that.
Rich.

Yup, that was it. But now the rear wiper/washer quit. I haven't checked it out yet so I don't know if it's the new switch that is bad or something else.
Bye for now, Joel
